Signsalot 0 Posted July 5, 2010 Hello, Here is a first try at a new machine. This Graphtec 5000 is something else. Right out of the box it has performed great. Here is a first try at a cut and weed. My goal was to try the machine out and get my weeding control going. The machine is tuned in and my steady hand is ready to go. Thank you to everyone here for the tips and recommendations. It has been a few years but I'm up and running again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signsalot 0 Posted July 5, 2010 " How big is it? " It measures 18". I wouldn't want to do it any bigger unless there was a check waiting for me. The fine detail is amazing with this cutter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
